We have had many wwoofers come to be with us during our 3 years here at Homestead. ( World wide workers on organic farms – usually young people in their twenties come to do a work/trade situation – work for room and board and various instruction…, but sometimes older folk come, as well, who want…

Late the other night, I was suddenly woken out of a deep dream. Not sure what was going on, I finally heard my husband saying: “There’s something in the room!” “Wha – what??” I said, looking groggily around the floor for potential snakes or other critters. “FLYING!” said he. Then: “”It’s a bat!” “A BAT??”…

Recently, we went to a burn pile event at a neighbor’s. He had invited us and some other folks to come hang out and picnic while the mound of this and that burnable stuff he had compiled burned down. We had also contributed some old, non usable wood to the pile, so we felt a…

I am dealing with an outbreak of – oh joy – poison ivy. It is having fun hopping from finger to finger, and down my arm, in spots and clumps of spots. Hopefully, it won’t continue to spread. I haven’t had a case of it for over 30 years. The last time I did get…

Although it has been said many times, in many way, it is becoming clearer and clearer to me that the person we must marry is ourselves. In the chakra system, this is found in our 3rd chakra – the place where we learn to honor Ourselves. It is where we find and focus our Chi…

We are trying to get our hens, or at least one of them, to go “broody”. This means that she will sit on the eggs we are leaving in the nest for her, in the hopes that she will hatch them into little chicks – her “brood”. They have learned to fly low over our…
